Questions & answers

How do I pick the right bit size?

Answered by The Connected RiderMeasure your horse’s mouth from corner to corner with a bit measure or a piece of string. A snaffle should show about 1/4″ on each side, and a loose ring a little more so the rings don’t pinch.

Which bit is right for my horse?

Answered by The Connected RiderEvery horse is different, and how strong a bit feels depends on the rider’s hands and the horse’s sensitivity. Ask your trainer, or use Ask a question and we’ll help.

Fit guide

Bit sizing and cheek types

Cheek	What it does
Loose ring	Rings move freely, encouraging the horse to mouth the bit.
Eggbutt / D-ring	Fixed cheeks hold the bit steady and help prevent pinching.
Full cheek	Helps with steering. Use bit loops to keep the cheeks upright.
Gag	The bit slides up when you use the rein, adding poll pressure.
Pelham / kimberwick	Snaffle plus curb action with a curb chain.
Hackamore	Bitless: pressure on the nose, chin and poll.

Measuring for a bit

Mouth width: measure your horse's mouth corner to corner with a bit measure or string, or measure your current bit inside the cheeks.
A snaffle should show about 1/4" each side. Give a loose ring a little more so it doesn't pinch.
Thickness: measured at the cheek. Thicker isn't always gentler: horses with low palates or fleshy tongues often prefer a thinner bit.

Every horse is different. Not sure which bit to try? Use Ask a question and we'll help.
